Grad Series: Washer Necklace

Here is an ambitious graduation gift idea that could last a lifetime. The designer stamped the name and graduation date into a washer. Clever!! I really would have loved this as a gift when I was a grad. Yeah, yeah...who wears their expensive class ring beyond their senior year of high school?!? I know. But, those aren't handmade. You can get a play by play class lesson for making this necklace via this link:

This grad series has been a lot of fun because it forced me to really search through some great craft blogs to find ideas that inspired me. I'd been in a bit of a rut myself. But, sifting through so many crafts made me want to schedule a session in the scrap shack with my friend, Crafty Girl. It was just the thing I needed to snap out of the doldrums. I also discovered that there are a lot of creative people in this world with nice blogs. I'm happy to pass along their crafts and I'm looking forward to doing these series more often. Class Dismissed.
